Supercharged Marauder as DD?

[MGDriver]

I'd love to supercharge mine but I also drive it daily at the moment, car ownership is simply too expensive for me over here to run a second car and then there would be the concern of how the supercharger would work with LPG.

Mine is my daily driver here in MN. 10+ Minnesota winters, snow tires are a must.

Check my sig. It's one of a few here that are way beyond a typical blower and supporting mods and has seen around 12,000 in the last two years (2,000 ish with the newer blower set up) and gets driven for all errands when dry out. It was driven winters till a couple years ago (but meticulously washed) but I couldn't stomach trashing the undercarriage after all the work I've done.



But yes, driven and driven hard, hauls my family of five, groceries, building materials, whatever.

I do shine away from anything out of state or racetracks however. The truck and trailer take over as the only two issues (vendors crap parts) I can think of cost me DEARLY to get the car back home. Could it be driven across the country over and over? Certainly. But I'm a person with little trust already, the aforementioned issues does not help that.

I do believe cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. I would not be driving this car anywhere near salt or bad weather conditions.

You guys putting down 400+ to the wheels- does it stuff you in the seat pretty good?

[Leonator134]

I am also a very competent detailer, can more than keep the car in excellent condition.

[Gryphonzus]

I am putting 480 horsepower to the ground and I has over 80,000 miles and runs good. I take it on long trips to Maraudervilles and will not hesitate to take it anywhere. Steve's car is well worth the money and I would love to have it but I have enough of them already. I am due to pick up my last edition to my collection in a few weeks, a 2004 SB. Good luck on your decision.

540/6? Nice! Rare!!!

Coming from that, a boosted MM will be an easy driver. Mine is in semi-retirement now ( followed, but not replaced, first by a tuned Ecoboosted MKS and now an F10 535/6!) but they're easy and fun to live with.

Biggest concern would be age, not boost. As they get older, they'll need more care and attention. So my experience with a car 1-9 years old might not compare to yours with a 11 year old car. But if you're acclimated to a 20 year old car, you'll be fine!

[Leonator134]

Nice f10! Yes my 540/6 is a rare bird. Very fun but not fast enough and is gonna take a lot more money to get it where I want it.

Would rather start with something else.

Yes, I'm familiar with 20 year old car maintenance haha. My impala is 51 years old

Thanks all.

Guys- for my clarity, did the Trilogy blower kit come on them from the factory?

Daily driven eaton swap here, 102K miles, been boosted for almost 30K

428/378 to the wheels

only thing major I've had to mess with with was the transmission, beefed it up so I won't get stranded somewhere.

And I run my car hard, I hit 100mph almost everyday
